Different sports will be more demanding in some, and less demanding in others, but athletes usually strive to achieve a reasonable level of health fitness in each area.
Five (5) Health Related Components of Fitness Cardiovascular Endurance Referred to as aerobic fitness, and is a measure of the athlete’s ability to continue with exercise which places demands on the circulatory and respiratory system over a prolonged period of time. This occurs in activities such as running, walking, cycling and swimming.
3. Muscular Endurance Muscular endurance differs from muscular strength in that it is a measure of person’s ability to repeatedly apply maximal force. For example in a series of press ups , over a period of time.
4. Flexibility It is the measure of free movement in a person’s joints. This is especially important to gymnastics.
2. Muscular Strength Muscular strength is the maximal force that can be applied against a resistance. It could be measured by the largest weight a person could lift or the largest body they could push or pull.
5. Body Composition Body composition is usually measured by the percentage body fat a person carries.
Performance / Skill Related Components of Fitness Agility It is the ability to change and control the direction and position of the body while maintaining a constant, rapid motion. For example, changing direction to hit a tennis ball .
2. Balance It is the ability to control or stabilize the body when a person is standing still or moving. For example, in-line skating.
3. Coordination It is the ability to use the senses together with body parts during movement. For example, dibbling a basketball . Using hands and eyes together is called hand-eye coordination .
4. Speed It is the ability to move your body or parts if your body swiftly. Many sports rely on speed to gain advantage over your opponents. For example, a basketball player making a fast break to perform a lay-up, a tennis player moving forward to get to a drop shot, a football player out running the defense to receive a pass.
5. Power It is the ability to move the body parts swiftly while applying the maximum force of the muscles. Power is the combination of both speed and muscular strength. For example, fullbacks in football muscling their way through other players and speeding in advance the ball and volleyball players getting up to the net and lifting their bodies high into the air.
Types of Body Ectomorph A typical skinny guy Ecto’s have a light build with small joints and lean muscle . Usually ectomorph’s have long thin limbs with stringy muscle. Shoulders tend to be thin with little width.
Typical traits of an ectomorph: Small “delicate” frame and bone Classic “hard gainer” Flat chest Small shoulders Thin Lean muscle mass Finds it hard to gain weight Fast metabolism
2. Mesomorph Muscular body- build characterized by predominance of structures (bone and muscle and connective tissue)
Typical traits of a Mesomorph: Athletic Hard body with well-defined muscles Rectangular shaped body Strong Gains muscle easily Gains fat more easily than ectomorphs
3. Endomorph Is solid and generally soft Endomorphs gain fat very easily Endo’s are usually of a shorter build with thick arms and legs. Muscles are strong, especially the upper legs. Endomorphs find they are naturally strong in leg exercises like the squat.
Typical traits of an Endomorph: Soft and round body Gains muscle and fay very easily Is generally short and “stocky” Round physique Finds it hard to lose fat Slow metabolism
